And Olympic gold-medallist Luan, whose prospective transfer to Spartak Moscow has been delayed as Liverpool have shown interest, will now be hoping to make his competitive senior debut for the five-time world champions.

Tite has led the Selecao to eight consecutive victories in qualifying since his June 2016 appointment, but insists his team is still very much evolving ahead of next year’s showpiece.

The former Corinthians man named an experimental squad in June, when he embarked on his first Brasil Global Tour for friendlies against Argentina and Australia in Melbourne.

However, there were just five changes to his latest squad for World Cup qualifying, most in reserve positions.
